WALKING (REMEMBERING FLORA)... PASSEANDO (RELEMBRANDO FLORA)...

The post below was from four years ago, but I would love it could have been yesterday...
O post abaixo foi há quatro anos, mas eu gostaria que ele tivesse sido ontem...


Come on, let's walk now! Venha, vamos passear!

I wonder to know who walked around here... a strange dog? a cat? a mouse? a snake???!!!! Quem será que passou por aqui... outro cachorro? um gato? um rato? uma cobra???!!!


Mom, why did you stop? Come on! Mamãe, porque você parou? Vamos!


Sniff.... sniff...

It was very hot! Nice to found a shadow to rest for a bit! Mas que calor! Tão bom encontrar uma sombra para descansar um pouquinho!

What a delight! Drink fresh and clean water! Que delícia! Beber água fresca e limpa!


Walking can be so exhausting... Passear pode ser tão cansativo... 


It's nice to be home again! Que gostoso voltar pra casa!

Photos taken by myself.

This week's challenge on Photo Friday is 'Nature Walk'.

    What a great post - there's nothing like walking with a dog. I'll be taking mine out in just a few minutes and now you've got me even more motivated!

    My dearest Sonia,
    These are beautiful images of Flora. I understand only too well how doing this post would have felt for you. Smiles and tears I would imagine. What a friend she was.
    Hugs dear Sonia.

    How time passes. I think when I first met you, it might have been over one of Flora's walks. I know you still miss her and I wonder if you'll ever have another doggy friend to go for these great walks with. I hope you do. Abraços fortes x

    Sonia -- I hope you bring another dog into your home.

    Once again I enjoy your panoramas of your surroundings . . . the reddish earth, the open countryside, the lake.

    We must be breathing the same air, dear Sonia. I, too, have been grieving again, looking at old photos, and longing for the presence of dear canine friends such as your Flora and my Maggie (3 years this November). I'm a better person because of Maggie, and I imagine you would say the same of your beautiful girl. Lovely, sweet photos.

    Lindas fotos, Sonia, e que lindas recordações!
    Quando os nossos amigos de quatro patas partem, ficamos mais pobres pois perdemos os nossos melhores amigos..."Quem tem um cão ou um gato amigo, não chora sozinho".
    A sua "Flora", a minha "Branquinha" e a minha "Pipi" serão sempre relembradas pois ficaram marcadas no nosso coração.
    Quando oportuno, veja o meu post "Adeus minha querida gatinha Pipi"
    Um grande beijinho.

    Love the pictures and it made me get teary as I think again of my own little buddy, a cat though, who I lost this summer. They are such a gift and leave such a hole when they go.

    Volto ainda para lhe agradecer a sua visita e dar-lhe o link para chegar mais rápido ao post sobre a minha gatinha Pipi... Foi uma homenagem póstuma no dia a seguir à sua partida. Sofri muito também.

    Seeing Flora again brings tears to my eyes, as I just lost my Soldier at the age of 13. But I know we have to be grateful for the time we get to spend with our dear furry friends.

    This is such a great photo essay of the life of one happy dog.

    Oh, dear sweet Flora. Her face is always kind, content, and lovely. Thank you for putting this together; I'm sure it brought some tears -- both happy and sad.
